The passing of the GST related amendments is an extremely
welcome step. This will help in terms of ease of doing business in the country.
We hope that the final bill takes care of the home buyers and does not raise
the cost of homes by raising the tax incidence on homes.

Stamp duty will continue and there is already
double taxation on this. The first time stamp duty is paid on land, then the
flat buyers pay Stamp duty on the flat without any credit for the land payment.

Mr. Rohit Gera, Managing Director, Gera Developments

Without addressing the needs of home buyers the government's
desire of housing for all will not be met.
